THE NEW KING: King Krule Rules!

Not George, we're talking about the other young, cute little redhead that will be king.. uber cool King Krule!!

Archy Marshall aka King Krule is on everyones lips and in everyones ears at the moment as he releases the debut album '6 Feet Beneath The Moon'. This London lad has the face of an adorable innocent teenager but the musical knowledge and talent of a not so innocent teenager. Being surrounded by music since a young age and with a strong love for 1950's rockabilly rhythm and lifestyle he is coming out with some of the most pleasant and catchy songs we've heard for a while now. We love how his voice doesn't really match his person and we will definitely be watching out for more from him.
His recent collaboration with Mount Kimbie is also a huge success and (we expect) this is just the beginning of many more collaborations to come.  

There is a European tour starting in October and will be passing through The Harley in Sheffield on Thursday 3rd October and The Ruby Lounge in Manchester on Saturday 5th October so try and get down to see, we will definitely be attending!

Here's a couple of favourites of ours so far:

King Krule/Zoo Kid - Out Getting Ribs

King Krule - Easy Easy

Kings and Queens of the Prom!

It could be the most perfect night you've ever dreamed of, or it could be a whole lot of panic and worry and excitement for nothing. Either way there is no way you're going to Prom without your best outfit on, hair done and feeling like a million quid.

Proms are popping up all over the Country and we are here to give you a helping hand in looking for your perfect dress.. We think of it like this.. No one else will be wearing the same dress as you because everything we have in store are one off items! You won't have to ask your parents to remortgage their house to cover the cost of your outfit! You can choose an outfit to suit your style and not alter your style to suit the outfit!!

Prom should be fun.. So if you feel comfortable in sequins, lace, ruffles, strappy, body con, prints, bold colours and pretty much everything suitable then pop in stores and let us know what you're after. All our staff are ready to help and love a bit of dress up!

23 George Street Collaboration

You may have seen and even bought some of the jewellery and accessories that we have in our stores and wondered where we get those from. The supplier for our jewellery and accessories in our stores is the wonderful 23 George Street, an independent Jewellery Boutique based in Nottingham.
Walking into the wonderful store, which you can find at 23 George Street, Nottingham, is like walking into a treasure chest full of affordable quirky pieces of costume jewellery.  Expect to find a vast selection of items from rock style skull rings, religious symbols, punky spikes, twee pendants to kitsch bunny earrings. The store holds a few collections pleasing all of your on-trend needs, the pieces are easy to wear, eye catching and surprisingly very reasonably priced!

We asked the Store Owner and Buyer Jessica Matthews a few questions about how it all began and how the collaboration with COW came about.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN COLLABORATING WITH COW?

I have been working with Cow for just over 8 months now. I approached the Cow Nottingham store to see if they were interested in my collections and they were happy to stock my pieces in store which led to supplying for the other stores in Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield.

HOW DO YOU SOURCE YOUR COLLECTIONS?

I do a lot of travelling and collect pieces we find and also use an overseas supplier to keep on top of demand.

WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR INSPIRATION WHEN CHOOSING PIECES FOR YOUR COLLECTIONS?

I visit trade shows such as Bread and Butter in Berlin to find out the next big thing that my customers will want. I also keep an eye on future trends and blogs.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT COW?

I love the interior and vibe of the stores, especially the new store that opened up in Nottingham. It is exciting to see what is going on in there. I think COW are going in a new direction rather than just being a regular vintage store and it is great to be involved.

WHAT ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT FOR 2013?

I am excited about the summer! There are new styles coming out, new trends and you tend to see more jewellery on show in the summer with people wearing lighter garments and dressing up simple garments.   

We have 23 George Street Jewellery and Accessories available in our Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester stores now.
